*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Open access to digital educational resources and tools (typically 
referred to as Open Educational Resources - OERs) and/or online courses 
(typically referred to as Massive Open Online Courses - MOOCs) has 
attracted significant attention worldwide from the different key 
stakeholders in Education and Training.  Despite the fact that the open 
access movement in Education has the potential to lead a disruptive 
Social Innovation in teaching and learning (including assessing of 
learning as well as accreditation of competences and qualifications), 
concerns are expressed that it could also lead to deepen the digital 
divide between regions, states and continents.
Ideally, unfolding the full potential of opening up education, 
anticipates not only the affordable availability and maintenance of 
efficient digital infrastructures, but mainly networks of people and 
professionals (representing the various existing key stakeholders in 
education, but also new ones emerged as a result of the transformations 
happening outside the formal educational settings) who are actively 
engaged in leading and supporting sustainable changes.
Digital technologies are the key enabler for the anticipated social 
innovations in education and learning through the open access movement. 
Furthermore, new challenges for governments, educational institutes, 
non-profit organizations, the private sector, the unions of 
professionals in education and training, as well as, individual 
professionals and citizens, are shaped and fostering the scientific 
dialogue of different perspectives can contribute to the advancement of 
the public discourse in these pressing issues.  This is the scope of 
this special issue on “the social innovation capacity of open education 
and learning”.
